“Vaesen” by Adrian Dexter

“Vaesen is an original story that I wrote and directed. It’s not based on any specific folktale, but I chose a very iconic visual aesthetic, and used folktale conventions that are engrained in many from childhood, so that I could explore a looser narrative. Basically I wanted Rankin-Bass on acid, written by Borges.”

Also in Cartoon Brew...

That was almost hypnotic, very evocative of past feelings, and strangely familiar without feeling like a pastiche of anything specific. Which is all to say I liked it – more than liked it. Thank you, and congratulations to the production team for their beautiful work.

This was stunning! Especially love the homage to FrantiÅ¡ek Kupka at 3:25. I can’t wait to see what the artist does next.

Wonderful, inspiring work. The character design reminded me of the work of Harry Clark, that great illustrator.

I found the visuals appealing and strange. It’s interesting the way that the story takes it’s time. Though it’s eerie it’s gentle… I liked this, thanks for sharing.

I would not oppose to seeing this person’s interpretation of The Sandman by Neil Gaiman.
